In the same boat with the son

In August, there was a flood in Luoyang, and the surrounding people were told by the government and the countryside to prepare early, so there were not too many property losses and casualties.In fact, Li Wei only did two things. The first was to evacuate the people, and the second was to divert water into a low-lying place in the south of the city to store the flood, so there was no large fee.

From the day when the flood was stored in the lowlands in the south of the city, at the court hall on that day, the general Liang Ji asked the court to allocate funds for flood control, and the officials were very surprised for a while.Emperor Huan didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Wei.

Li Huang's complexion did not change, and he replied calmly, "Although the general's suggestion is a good thing for the country and the people, the lower officials really dare not accept it. Back then, I promised a thousand gold in the court. It also prevented people from being displaced and innocent people from being killed."

Hearing what Li Wei said, Liang Ji was very irritable, "The imperial government didn't let you pay the money, so you can do whatever you want. Is it your turn to refuse?!"

Hearing Liang Ji's anger, Li Wei was slightly surprised and said, "At the beginning, the lower officials also considered the embarrassment of the court, so they were so frugal. There was another earthquake in June this year, and it took a lot of money to calm the chaos and floods last year." There is a lot of money, and the past few years were not peaceful, the emperor's clothes and rewards were all simple, and the treasury is really empty."

Sikong and Hu Guang nodded slightly, and said slowly, "It's true that the general has good intentions to serve the people wholeheartedly, but what Mr. Li said is also very reasonable. The treasury is empty, and it is spent on water control that has not caused major problems this year. What happened, do you still have money?"

Hearing what the old oil man said, Liang Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Water control involves the people of Luoyang living and working in peace and contentment. It is a good thing for the country and the people. I donate millions of dollars, and I don't need the treasury to get money."

Hearing Liang Ji's words, Li Huang thought about it, and said, "The general is a high-spirited and honest man, and the lower officials are in charge of water control. I am very moved and want to follow the example of the general. However, the lower officials don't have a lot of money, so they donate more than [-] yuan." Mind."

All the officials followed suit after hearing this, or flattered the general Liang Ji, or developed a heart of compassion, or just followed the trend of fishing for fame, no matter what, they got millions of dollars in the end.When Emperor Huan saw that all the officials were like this, although he was a little puzzled, he also added a million dollars to Luoyang for water control.

When Emperor Huan retired to the side hall of the Chongde Hall for a rest, he leaned on the couch, and Zhang Rang, the little yellow gatekeeper, gently kneaded his forehead and temples for him, and Emperor Huan felt much relieved.Pulling Zhang Rang's hand and slowly stroking it, he couldn't help asking, "Why did you say that domineering general suddenly changed his sex and offered to donate money?"

Zhang Rang covered his mouth and smiled softly, "Your Majesty, you don't know about this!" Zhang Rang, who was born beautiful, made this coquettish gesture again, which made Emperor Huan very fond of it for a while, so he kissed him on the cheek, "Don't keep it secret, tell me what gossip you know."

"Your Majesty, do you know that Master Li has used a lowland in the south of the city as a flood storage place?"

Emperor Huan thought for a while, "What does it have to do with this flood storage place?"

Zhang Rang couldn't help but smiled softly again, "This land in the south of the city is not an ordinary place, but it is a fine peony flower garden. When the peony flowers bloom, it reflects the hazy figure of Luoshui, which is the most beautiful place in the world. .If it’s just a simple flower garden, it’s fine, but Liang Ji’s wife loves peonies the most. Whenever the flowers bloom, she must linger.”

"If Liang Ji's wife is just an ordinary woman, it's fine, but this Mrs. Liang is beautiful, good at acting like a monster, frowning, smiling with caries, she has a certain mood; she wears makeup, falls into a bun, bends her waist and walks, very charming; The general is loved and feared at the same time."

"The flower garden was flooded at once. Mrs. Liang spends a lot of time on the general. What is a million dollars to the general? Gold, jade, pearls, rare treasures, the general's mansion is full of treasures, even the chariot feather cover , all adorned with gold and silver."

When Emperor Huan heard this, he pinched Zhang Rang's face, "You know a lot."

Zhang Rang curled up his lips, "That's natural. Look at this general, he looks ferocious and rude, but unexpectedly he is so fearful of guilt. He is kind to Madam. I really can't see it!"

Emperor Huan smiled and stroked Zhang Rang's hair, "It's not good to say these things. Some of them seem to be loved, but they are not necessarily. Some are unknown, but they may be on the tip of their hearts. People in the world You can only see the appearance or listen to rumors, what is the truth, and how do you know it? What if you don’t know it, people always live for their own hearts, not for other people’s ideas.”

Hearing this, Zhang Rang didn't know what he touched, so he lay down obediently in Emperor Huan's arms, and gently stroked Emperor Huan's chest with his hands, as if to soothe those disturbing and irritable emotions, "But I think General Liang treats his wife very well."

When Emperor Huan heard this, he smiled as if sighing, "Then shall I treat you well?"

Hearing this, Zhang Rang seemed to have thought of something. He was a little uneasy, and his eyelids couldn't help shaking, but he still replied, "It should be good."

Emperor Huan raised Zhang Rang's chin with his hand, and squeezed his fingers a little harder. There seemed to be some cruelty in his eyes, but he also had some reluctance. Don’t do things that shouldn’t be done!”

Zhang Rang was terrified when he saw this suddenly. He got up quickly and wanted to prostrate himself on the ground, but his body was restrained and he couldn't move. What does His Majesty understand?"

Emperor Huan snorted softly, let go of his clamped chin, stopped looking at Zhang Rang, and just curled his long hair with his fingers, "Really?! Empress Dowager Liang questioned the rumors among the people. Are you related?" After speaking, he stared at Zhang Rang with some cruelty, as if he wanted to pin him there with his eyes, seeing that Zhang Rang was a little panicked, trembling, but didn't answer, and couldn't help pulling the strand of hair tight , asked softly but as if turning a thousand times, "Ah?!"

Seeing this appearance, Zhang Rang was so frightened that he didn't know how to do it. He wanted to cry, "Your Majesty, I have nothing to do!" After saying this, he buried his head in Emperor Huan's arms, his body trembling slightly, as if explaining He also said to himself nervously, "The slave has been sent to the palace since he was seven years old, and he was so favored when he met His Majesty at the age of 17. This deep palace that eats people is like an ant like a slave." How can people do whatever they want? Many people point to the east, but slaves dare not turn west; ask today’s weather, but slaves dare not answer what day it is today; Take it."

"There are old father and younger brother in the servant's family. Back then, they were poor and couldn't even eat enough to eat. That's why they made themselves castrated eunuchs and were sent to this deep palace that eats people. When they met His Majesty, it was I have all the blessings in my life, but I don't know if I can bear this kindness."

Emperor Huan saw Zhang Rang trembling in his arms, and his chest was covered with a large amount of warm moisture. He felt a little sore for a moment, so he sighed slightly, "Don't blame me——"

——Separation Line Lord——

In the tenth month of winter, Taiwei Zhao Jiewai, Situ Yuantang was Taiwei, and Da Si Nong Hanei Zhang Xin was Situ.In April there was a solar eclipse, in June Shun Emperor Xian Mausoleum was hit by an earthquake, in July it rained in Lian County, in August there was flooding in the capital, and in September another earthquake occurred.The Sangong is the example of all officials, so the Taiwei is prevented from regretting and losing virtue.

In winter, the river becomes shallower and the riverbed is exposed, which is a good time to dredge the river.Borrowing from Wei Cao to serve hard labor and atone for capital crimes and desperate criminals, dispatch the knowledgeable officials of the Sikong Mansion, with the stance of the Holy Majesty, the General and all parties, everything becomes easier.However, generally speaking, such behavior is quite slanted, and it is likely to be retaliated against with a grudge.However, there is only gain if there is sacrifice. Some things want to be solved perfectly without paying some price, but in the end nothing can be done.Knowing the result you want, when you choose, you have already had the courage to bear it all.

On this day, Li Huang received the news of the death of his teacher Xun Shu in the mansion. He was very shocked. He thought that he saw the teacher when he returned home last year, and his body was still very strong.The water control matters were well arranged, so Li Wei called Fu Ming into the study to discuss how to ask the Holy Master for leave to go to the funeral.

Fu Ming picked up the letterhead and scanned it, thinking for a while, "Recently, the palace has heard that the general Liang Ji has launched an attack on Emperor Huan. I don't know where the general heard it. But there is no evidence, so he accused the Holy One of failing to implement the decree, which caused so many catastrophes. Look at the meaning, it is necessary to cut some feathers from the Holy Majesty."

"The general will not be reconciled to the dismissal of Taiwei Zhao Jie. This is just a symbolic loss of morality. According to the general's wishes, it would be better if Master Yin is spared, but Master Yin is the confidant and arm of the Holy Majesty. If you want to be relegated, the Holy One will definitely not be willing."

Li Jun picked up the teapot and poured tea for the two of them, moistened his lips, "What does that mean, sir?"

"The general has been put together by the lord, and he has been confronted many times. He must have held a grudge. Now that the Liang family is in full swing, the sage is helpless at present. If the lord takes the initiative to complete the act of abandoning the pawns and saving the car, it can be avoided. The Kailiang family’s sharp edge retreated completely, secondly, the holy majesty will remember it in his heart, and he will reuse it when the situation is a little clearer, and thirdly, my lord resigned because of the reason for the funeral of my teacher, and everyone in the world regards you as a model.”

"Although this method seems to be good, but at a time when the situation is turbulent and catastrophic, for the sake of personal gain, abandoning all people and ignoring it, what difference is it from gaining fame?"

"My lord's words are wrong. Now the catastrophe is just a newborn, but the Liang family is full of arrogance. If my lord is folded here by the Liang family, the people will have to live in poverty, and the five-hu cavalry will go south and drink the horses. Weishui, I will really regret it. Mr. Lin and his subordinates also mentioned in the letter that the mutation is only the beginning now. The population is too large, the land is concentrated, the environment is deteriorating, the current political problems, plus refugees, foreign relatives, eunuchs, Wuhu, and natural disasters, and now the strange clouds are just emerging. It’s just treacherous. Only by keeping the sharp edge can we have the ambition in our hearts.”

Fu Ming saw that Li Huang had some doubts about defending oneself, especially in the current situation where the situation is not very optimistic, but what's the benefit of doing what he knows is wrong?Knowing in his heart that Li Huang was still most in line with Lin Xiu's opinion, he had no choice but to speak out.

Seeing that Fu Ming had already said this, Li Jun knew that this was a helpless solution at the moment, and it was useless to show off his temper for a while, and he really missed the teacher in his heart.Liang Ji also knew that he and Li Gu had gone out of the same school, and the public resentment was boiling because Li Gu and Du Qiao died in vain. It is the best balance and compromise for all parties at this time to cover up himself.

A few days later, Li Wei handed in his resignation form, saying that because of the death of his mentor, he wanted to stay in mourning for three years.Emperor Huan received this form and called Yin Xun to discuss it. Yin Xun's opinions were similar to those of those, but there were more opinions from Emperor Huan, "Master Li is really a capable minister and general, and he is more loyal to the Holy One. , and can be of great use to the Holy One.”

Emperor Huan had already made up his mind, and announced his resignation at the court the next day.All the ministers were in an uproar when they heard this, and there was no precedent for three years of mourning with their teacher, but Xun Shu, who is a model teacher in the world, deserves such treatment.Those with a keen sense of politics felt that it was unusual, and Liang Ji heard it like this. Although the bad breath in his heart seemed to be slowly dissipating in his chest, he was very unhappy, but he had seen all kinds of dislikes in Li Huang earlier, so he cut it off. It's also good to drop.

Li Huang received the news of his resignation, that is, handing over the work with all parties, especially the finishing project of flood control, so he asked Yin Xun to supervise the finishing work.There are not too many things to send home, and I still have to go back to Luoyang.However, if he went home to observe the funeral, Fu Ming would also rest with him, which seemed a bit delayed, so he discussed with Fu Ming, wondering if he would like to temporarily go to Beidi County to be an aide with Feng Dai.

After Fu Ming heard such a suggestion, although objectively speaking, he could not be as idle as Mr. Li for three years, and he still had two sons who were waiting to be fed. If you want to study apprenticeship, you should start a family and start a career when you grow up. It is necessary to find more things to do and save more network resources.And Feng Dai and Li Wei are from the same famous family, both civil and military, and they are a little familiar with each other in the last period of contact. Objectively speaking, Feng Dai is indeed the best choice.

But there is always something wrong, and I can't tell what is wrong. If Feng Dai has some thoughts about himself, but look at those male favorites of high-ranking officials, which one is not enchanting, even if they are not male favorites, such as Li Wei and Lin Xiu In this way, but he is two or three years older than Feng Dai, and has two sons, background, appearance, status and other factors, making Fu Ming not believe in the possibility of such a thing from the bottom of his heart.For the sake of making a living and for his son, what he thinks and does can still have some effect on the common people in the world, so Fu Ming agreed to the proposal of going to the North to find Feng Dai.The two children knew to go to Beidi to look for Feng Dai, but they heard from the housekeeper, Grandpa Li, that Beidi and Guanzhong had a very unusual appearance, with big, sweet and beautiful grapes, thousands of miles of yellow sand, and green corridors. Long River Sunset also likes Feng Dai very much, and he yearns for it for a while.

When the two parties were about to leave Luoyang, Li Wei received an urgent letter from Feng Dai. The letter mentioned that since Ming Xuan was going home to observe the funeral, Mr. Fu should be a little leisurely, and he was afraid that he would go with Ming Xuan, but Hurry up, I hope that Mingxuan will allow Mr. Fu and himself. Mingxuan should also know that the situation in Beidi is very serious because it is close to Hu Qiang. .

Li Wei read what was said in the letter, as if he saw Feng Dai begging himself with a shy face, but he thought of playing tricks in his heart. He didn't tell Fu Ming about the letter, and only vaguely mentioned it in his reply. See Mr. Fu's meaning.For a time, each of them also left Luoyang, just like a wheel turning around, constantly circling the so-called trajectory, leaving, arriving, and walking until it was destroyed and disappeared.

The author has something to say:

A small reminder, Emperor Huan was his posthumous name when he died. I personally like to call it this way, so I always call it this way in the text... There are always a lot of things I want to explain, and I always forget it at this time. I am really old and my memory is not good. Sad - I still like this chapter a lot. . .
